Grizedale Forest

Grizedale Forest Visitor Centre, Grizedale, Cumbria, LA22 0QJ

Grizedale Forest occupies a wonderfully dark location in the heart of the Lake District and is an excellent place to view the starry skies between large openings between the trees. The Forestry Commission runs events here in collaboration with local astronomers from time to time.


Grizedale Forest is a Go Stargazing Site. The location has been identified by the Go Stargazing team as a good location for stargazing based on local light pollution levels, distance from nearby towns and cities and offers a safe place to park.
